Hi there The van Abel crew,

One or more logs indicate that this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, so it is being temporarily disabled. This is to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache are investigated/addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current Covid-19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache straight away, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO.

**You do need to respond within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this cache. Please don't let a lack of communication kill this placement.**

#What you should do now:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a 'Write Note' log indicating an expected date when you you hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
**The Write Note log should be placed within 14 days.**

#Please Note#
When a Reviewer next looks in on this cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the Reviewer will assume the cache has been abandoned and process accordingly.

Found, wet and very smelly, needs replacing.

Found it

Wet and sloppy

Found this today but it’s all muddy and needs to be refurbished
Good find tho

Very overgrown here

Couldn’t sign

Quick and easy. Couldn't sign cause log is mush

Found, but the log was in no state to remove it, let alone try to sign it - needs some love. Photo sent. TFTC.

Sistema drink bottle was missing , bit of laminated paper still there in gutter

Very wet and smelly
But found
And told by my helper it was worth it

Found it thought the Log is very wet, maitance required. TFTC

Thanks the van able crew. Good spot at the Gateway to Cranny. Log is very wet, hence the picture. Giddy up.

Yucky

Ewww Maggots galore.

Had a few hours to spare today so caught up with My good mate Omegaman1971, I was keen to tackle a few solved puzzles in the are as well as any other that were close by.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels. The cache is in place but in My 17 years of caching I have never opened a cache and had maggots crawl out, the cache is in need of a check by the CO.

Thanks The van Abel crew for the cache.

This is all I could find. I think the container is gone

TFTC, unfortunate to have walked through the long grass

Out with geo kids SowaMLE and Snook and my caching buddy Jetsons23. After attending the local Cranbourne Event, some caching afterwards was in order. The weather was a bit weird with half clear sky with beautiful warm sun shining and half menacing looking dark clouds suggesting rain might be coming.

Wrong decision to park in the service/side street having to trek through long grass to GZ. Would have been much easier to stop directly on the side of the road. Oh well, isn't that the way that only after you do something you realise there was an easier way/method.

A quick find was made here. Cache and log in good condition.

Thank you for the cache here The van abel crew

Out on a beautiful day with my caching buddy oshfam, we attended the Cranbourne event. Now was time to go and hunt down some of the nearby caches. After a quick search we found this one. Thanks for the cache.

Found it TFTC

TFC

We could have got this the easier way, but that wouldn't be out way haha

Quick and easy but suggest parking in the side street

Ez ChrisAUS

Good one.

Good one

Got the teen to wade through the long grass to get this one. Was an effort because he doesn't pay attention lol. Found it after a short look. Tftc

Found at 2:07 pm.
Work had strongly encouraged everyone to take more annual leave so I took a couple of days off and did well on the weather timing. Today was perfect. I went for a drive to avenge a DNF I had plus then do a bit of free-styling plus a visit to my mum's place for lunch. All round a great day.
Geez, now that is a busy location !! Glad I parked in the serivce road and came across.
Thanks The van abel crew for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Quick grab. TFTC

:3

Nice easy one, just watch the traffic! TFTC

Great hide! Not were you would expect it to be!

Thanks

Found easily. Probably not the safest location! Parked in side street, we always discourage our kids from stopping on the side of a main road.

Quick grab

Good one

Good cache

I’m trying to fill in some dates on my calendar so this one was today’s.

Found on the way to work in the usual spot, thank goodness for nice quick ones like this when you should be working not caching

Thanks The van abel crew

Felt very exposed doing this one.
For safety I went round onto the street that runs parallel to the highway and walked a short distance through the long grass. While signing the cache I certainly felt like there was lots of people driving past and wondering what I was doing!

Easy find

Nice one

Got some weird looks from people driving past

Thanks

A quick find out and about. Trying to catch up on logs

Thanks The van abel crew for the cache.
Found at 9:53 pm on 27/4/19.
Find # 1554

Yeeet!!!

A quick find in the obvious location early on a Sunday morning. In good condition.

Good hidy place

Good Sopt easy to Find

Did not find

Didn’t find as we didn’t want to go too close to the road or walk around on the long grass during the heat of the day

Mother and daughter found it! Took a bit of wading through long grass

Found it on the way to buy stuff for nanny’s birthday tomorrow!

Found on my way home for the night. Watched a few motorbikes head back from the island. Easy find. SL TFTC!

Clever hiding spot near busy highway.

First find for the night! Thanks

I (Mum)had to grab this one as bit close for the geo kidlets

Found with Jules...tyftc

Another morning with a few hours to myself in Cranbourne allowed me to wandered about picking up a some more loose caches scattered on my map. Had driven past this cache on so many occasions promising myself that Ill stop next time. Next time never comes so today I made a special trip just to get this cache and a few of its local mates. Once the GPSr had locked in on GZ, I new from the direction and the distance, exactly where to find this cache. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Found! Guarded by a huge huntsman, which gave me the willies, but found!

Easy find in the usual location, parked in front to use my car as cover and pretended I was checking the back tyre while I signed the log as quickly as possible! TFTC!!

Found it!

Too much grass.

Found

Found it,

Found

Ugh spider webs!

Grass is way to over grown

Could not find wet to the exact spot and looked all around, I only found rubbish and a movie disc

H

Quick easy grab tftc.

I have been rather lazy in the sense of when it comes to doing the caches in the botanical gardens. But today seemed like a good day to finally get these ones day. Boots on and brother dropped off at work I set off to do this little walk. It was a nice stroll and before long i had all of the caches found in the loop. Anyways thanks for the cache and the great day out.

Seen one of these before so bit easy. Thought it would be there. TFTC

Quick find, pays to enter from side road to dodge traffic . TFTC

Argh! Wet shoes! Made a quick discovery after wading through the wet grass. Don't do this after it's been raining!!! I guess there weren't snakes. Great little cache.

TFTC, Brainiac03

Been visiting to Botanic Gardens for a morning walk and catch up with some caches nearby and i found and grabbed it quickly due to many mugglecars passed by and return it too. All good! Thanks van abel crew for the cache.

Found it #couttsfamily

Parked in the service road for safety. After fighting our way through the long wet grass, OzHockeyChick made a quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Found on a day out with the girls. A quick find in a logical spot. Tftc

Out with the OzHockeyChick and the girls on international geocaching day to find a few caches. Another easy find TFTC

A girls day out with sharkiefan, OzHockeyChick, jascat and Ms Papillon4506 caching in the Cranbourne area.
Parked on the service road to avoid the busy road and trudged through the wet grass to GZ. Quickly found by OzHockeyChick and our name were in the logbook. TFTC

Another girls day out with Mrs Papillon4506, Mrs Mark&Kelly & Ms sharkiefan. Today we hit Cranny!
Grass needs cutting here lol.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Found with my little man TOOLMANJNR
QUICK FIND,
He straightened all the cards in there .... little OCD ??
TFTC

Oh yer

Thought about parking on the side of the road for this one, and would have been good cover, but went for the parking on the side street.
It meant I had a small walk through the long grass and had to wait for a break in the traffic to grab the cache. Only had 1 car toot me...
Thanks for the cache The Van Abel Crew
Hunter

Pulled over next to GZ, missed seeing it at first look, so I walked all the way down and back again, this time I found it! Thankyou kindly.

The two further north I could not find but this on is fine. Thanks The van Abel crew.

A quick pick up while biking through the area.

Found with Muzza. Lots of ants on this cache . Thanks for the cache

I was out and about caching today with Kiwideb down Tooradin way. Another nice quick find on our way home.

My thanks to The van abel crew for the cache.

Found it relatively easy, left a surfboard and took a Glenrowan key ring.

**Out on Australia Day doing a few Aussie caches. Found this one after the Tom Tom made us do a full block out and around the highway. Nice quick easy find in the end. TFTC. SL. Nice size cache too. Left a card and some swaps and took a toy. Thanks for bringing us to this spot. Originally thought the cache would be on the big sign down the road. Cheers.**
